Cascade Lakes Highway
OR 372CR 46Bend to Crescent
Sixty-six miles out of Bend past Mount Bachelor and a chain of alpine lakes, Broken Top and the Three Sisters on the horizon before the road turns south through lava country.
The Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway runs about 66 miles from Bend along Century Drive and Forest Road 46 past Mount Bachelor and a chain of alpine lakes to Highway 58. The paved route gives views of Broken Top and the Three Sisters before turning south through lava country. Mind the winter closure beyond Mount Bachelor, deer and elk near dusk, and snow lingering into early summer.
